2015 - wrap up
Mon, Dec 8th 2014 5:12a Martin JinochEnd of the year is approaching at increasing speed (more deadlines you have, more speed you get) and as we're headed to our annual vacation soon, I'm calling this year "a day". (this probably doesn't work in English as I mean it, but you understand it, right?)
It started right after we returned from Vietnam at the end of January, with a lot of projects to catch up on, followed by speaking at ENGAGE with Paul Withers and being on This Week in Lotus discussion panel (yes, THAT This week in Lo

IBM Champion 2015!
Wed, Dec 3rd 2014 3:11p Martin JinochI'm very honoured to be selected as IBM Champion in ICS for 2015. I'm very very very happy to be on the list with so many great people. 96 people from all around the world. Two of them from Czech Republic.
Congratulations to all IBM Champions 2015!
To people who nominated me: Thank you for the nominations!
P.S.: my secret tip how to become IBM Champion is to wear a wig while working at the registration desk for Social Connections conference, but shhh :-)

Thursday and Friday last week in Stockholm at Odenplan 7a conference center we had many great sessions and plenty of networking with people from around the world. Which is exactly what I LOVE about these events.
This time I (at the registrat

Fall - time of the conferences and hard work
Tue, Sep 30th 2014 12:10p Martin JinochFor me the end of the summer means increased number of projects I'm involved in. To finish all of them until the end of the year - that is something I've never managed to achieve. This year seems to be a bit different. Hopefully.
Up until now I've resisted to say yes for too many of "just a small 10 mandays work" (usually ending up as 50 MD). One of the reasons is that after Social Connections VI in Prague I'm part of the team preparing the next event - Social Connections VII in Stockholm.

Social Connection VI
Fri, Jun 20th 2014 6:10a Martin JinochWell, that was really great experience to be part of the team organizing Social Connection VI conference in Prague.
Our team was working hard to make it happen. All other members were also presenting, which I can only admire. I can not imagine myself doing all that work AND preparing for the session(s) as well. Let alone being able to deliver it.
After spending some time at the registration booth I'm a bit afraid that my new nickname "registration booth babe" will be with me for some time. It

Engage 2014
Fri, Mar 21st 2014 10:15a Martin JinochIn the beginning of this week I've attended the best European "Lotus related" conference called now Engage, up until last year named BLUG.
For the first time it has taken place outside of Belgium in a nice city called Breda located one hour (by fast train) from Amsterdam. Venue was very also interesting - Chassé Theater.
There is no need to point out that organization of the conference was fantastic, because that is automatically assumed when you know who is organizing it - Theo Heselmans.

Speaking at BLUG...I mean ENGAGE
Sat, Mar 15th 2014 1:11p Martin JinochTomorrow morning I'll be heading to the airport to catch flight to Amsterdam and then via train to Breda to attend ENGAGE conference (it used to be called BLUG). I'm always looking forward to being there. I hope to meet a lot of old friends and even more new ones. I persuaded a couple of Lotus-positive friends to come this year, so be prepared for more Czech geeks :-)
This is my second time as a speaker on this event so I'm even more excited to go there. Paul Withers and I will be presenting
